Is your relationship 'Netflix official'?
According to a Netflix survey, 51% of people felt sharing their account signified a "big step" in a relationship. A majority said they would only share their information in an exclusive relationship.
The survey, conducted in fall 2015, polled 1,008 American Netflix users between the ages 18-39.
Twenty-seven percent of people agree that show compatibility is important in a relationship, and 25% have "show goggles," finding people more attractive based off of what TV shows they like.
